Sound design is a whole another part of music. Most amateur musicians don't even bother with it because it is way to technical to master. They just use presets.
I personally hate it, but if you have a technical bent, you might enjoy it
Serum is the easiest synth I have ever used. There are a lot of controls, but they all make sense. And if one is just starting out, they can ignore most of the controls and focus on just the basics: Waveform, envelop, filter. Then move to modulation starting with LFOs. (Modulation is where Serum really shines. It is literally drag-and-drop. Compared to the modulation matrices that many synths use, it's a cake walk.)
If you think Serum look complex, take a look at Zebra 2.
I mean, look at the interface for Serum, probably the best synth on the market right now:
